New Zealand business confidence slipped into negative territory in the first quarter of 2007, although firms' own-activity expectations improved, according to a private sector survey published Tuesday. The NZIER's Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion shows that a net 15% of surveyed businesses expect general conditions to deteriorate over the next six months. In the fourth quarter, a net 3% of businesses expected conditions to improve.
In seasonally-adjusted terms, a net 3% of firms expect business conditions to deteriorate over the next six months, compared with a revised net 7% of businesses expressing similar pessimism in the previous survey. censored

EUR/CHF, 1.6320 seems to be key support. the dallies seems bullis but heavily o/b, do you think the 1998, 1.6500 will print before any pullback. tia

GEP as you know the buy side on this cross can work in a number of ways but basic assumption is that nzd would be softer than aud.it could be tht they rise at a different pace.i have noted the mentioned range.it has been here since forever one might say.time to correct higher.

Dallas GEP 21:49 GMT April 9, 2007 Reply   
Well I suspect there is some reluctance to short AUSSIE from here because some of us including me are waiting for another spin up to 8200 level but I am not so sure we are going to get it. May just take a short if 8190 area is seen.

Eur/jpy shorts are not doing a whole lot either but I suspect that will change as we get into asian session. Carry trades also should see more action then as well ; particularly gbp/jpy.

Reserve Bank has done some work encouraging banks to increase term interest rates since the last OCR announcement. The two-year rate has incresaed to 8.3 per cent from 7.47 per ecnt. I also read over the weekened there is about NZD 33 billion of fixed rate mortgages due for re-negotiation this year.
I'd say some people are in for a shock.
Could possibly remove the need for further OCR increases.

Generally stronger USD should limit topside for NZD/USD this week, says Bank of NZ FX strategist Danica Hampton, despite expectations local data like today's Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion will remain NZD supportive, reinforcing notion RBNZ has "further work to do if it wants to contain medium-term inflation." Adds market likely to become "increasingly nervous" about carry trades heading into Friday's G7, which should provide further cap to any NZD/USD gains.

do agree with you... may be the USD needs another try to the downside, i.e. 1.2150 ish... or 1.3500 ish EUR and probably 1.99 ish in cable... but I do firmly believe that the dam at 80 in USD INDEX will not break this time and we will then have a good USD rally for several years... ! but yes.... right now, let s take some profit in USD CHF but we should NOT forget to reenter pretty fast on the next 120 pip down move... all things would change with a daily close below 1.2000... gl gt

DS,a day close above 1.2270/80 area can really make a lot happen for usdchf upside but presently the path looks constricted and if it does not go beyond this level soon then the hopes for stronger usdchf would be dashed indefinitely imho.the possibility of such a close as of now is really slender although we are trading quite close.

for short term early next week, i think short gbpusd could be put into play up to 1.9708 with stop above 1.9730/40 for 1.9580 at least, if that breaks then from seller point of view 1.9280/90 is the next target

It would seem that the risk on the week lies in AUD/USD and AUD crosses. With Aussie having lost 50 pts from its highs, a barrier having been taken out at .8200, and it looking very exhausted on every chart, it would seem that AUD crossses should begin to steal the show this week. Profits are profits and AUD crosses for the last few weeks have been a one way trade. Things are starting to turn over a bit and we should all be mindful of AUD/CHF, AUD/CAD, and AUD/JPY.

.9370 = AUDCAD break lower
.9925 = AUDCHF break lower
96.25 = AUD/JPY break lower

I target a move down in AUD/USD to .8080 in the next 8 trading days as a topping formation unfolds. Sell rallies from .8178 up to .8195, with a stop loss resting at .8219.

Although dollar bears came up with the usual set of objections arguing that the birth/death adjustment added 128K jobs to the headline number and focusing on the fact that most of the jobs were created in the lower paying retail sector, the undeniable truth of the matter is that for the time being Friday’s data contradicted the dollar doomsday scenario and stopped the euro rally in its tracks.

Seems like an interesting week ahead. The NFP indicates that a rate cut is highly unlikely and that may have a negative effect on equities. This added to potential downgrades on earnings estimates going forward for the new quarter may put the bind on enthusiasm for stocks not positive for the dollar. Still we are on the higher end of the range on the dollar especially vs the Yen. The Eur looks like a good buy buy the yen looks like it wants to test 119.50 and shoot for the high end at the 120 handle. I'm short at 119.10 but and it looks like there is plenty of resistance at the 119.40-50 space. Does the market think that a rate rise in the offing. Not really judging from the yields? Still very flat in yield land.

April 9 (Bloomberg) -- The euro's rise has taken analysts by surprise and traders expect more gains as the region's economy grows and interest rates climb.

Investors in futures have $15.9 billion more in bets on the euro strengthening than on a decline, data from the Washington- based Commodity Futures Trading Commission show. Options traders are paying more for the right to buy euros than to sell the currency.

Traders sending the euro toward record highs are clashing with economists, who predicted in December that the currency would trade at $1.328 by the end of the first quarter and fall 1 percent to $1.305 this year, according to a Bloomberg News survey. They stuck to their calls in March, saying the euro would weaken to $1.31 by 2008.

``The euro's the safest bet,'' said Peter Lucas, who's been buying euro forwards as chief investment officer at Ashburton Ltd., which manages $1.7 billion in Jersey, in the Channel Islands. ``We let the market do the talking.''

China May Hike RRR 200 Bps More By End-07 : BoA

China may hike banks' reserve requirement ratio another 200 bps by year end, says Wang Qing, currency strategist Bank of America in note. Says 2 of 3 RRR hikes this year aimed at draining liquidity after PBOC transferred treasury deposits to commercial banks November-December; so PBOC not as aggressive so far, as frequency of RRR hikes may suggest. But risk to forecast is establishment of new State Foreign Exchange Investment Company, which will invest part of FX reserves. How SFEIC acquires its FX assets - direct transfer from PBOC to SFEIC books or purchase FX via bond issuance - will impact future liquidity, he says

Yen chart gave a signal that price may rise to the 120-121 range. It all depends if you believe the last US NFP, was really positive.

Reading into it's components, things do not look so encouraging.

All that on background of the subprime mortgage problems and it's wider influence. I think bankers may not go for a stronger USD, and short term traders may treat the technicals suspiciously.
